Patent number: 11957446Abstract: Certain aspects relate to systems and techniques for medical instrument navigation and targeting. In one aspect, a system includes a medical instrument having an elongate body and at least one sensor, a display, a processor, and a memory storing a model of a mapped portion of a luminal network and a position of a target with respect to the model. The processor may be configured to: determine, based on data from the at least one sensor, a position and orientation of a distal end of the medical instrument with respect to the model, and cause, on at least a portion of the display, a rendering of the model, the position of the target, and the position and orientation of the distal end of the medical instrument. The rendering may be based on a viewpoint directed at the target and different from a viewpoint of the medical instrument.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2020Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Auris Health, Inc.Inventors: Hedyeh Rafii-Tari, Prasanth Jeevan, Douglas T. Boyd, Melissa A. Teran, Alexander James Sheehy, Nicolas E. Robert, Miroslav Drahos, Jeffery D. Howard, Andrew Esbenshade Zeldis, René Ango Mambembe

Patent number: 11832889Abstract: Systems and methods for electromagnetic field generator alignment are disclosed. In one aspect, the system includes an electromagnetic (EM) sensor configured to generate, when positioned in a working volume of the EM field, one or more EM sensor signals based on detection of the EM field, the EM sensor configured for placement on a patient. The system may also include a processor and a memory storing computer-executable instructions to cause the processor to: determine a position of the EM sensor with respect to the field generator based on the one or more EM sensor signals, encode a representation of the position of the EM sensor with respect to the working volume of the EM field, and provide the encoded representation of the position to a display configured to render encoded data.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2018Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Auris Health, Inc.Inventors: David Burdick Berman, Hedyeh Rafii-Tari, Prasanth Jeevan, Nicolas E.

Publication number: 20230042618Abstract: Systems and methods for electromagnetic distortion detection are disclosed. In one aspect, the system includes an electromagnetic (EM) sensor configured to generate an EM sensor signal in response to detection of the EM field. The system may also include a processor configured to calculate a baseline value of a metric indicative of a position of the EM sensor at a first time and calculate an updated value of the metric during a time period after the first time. The processor may be further configured to determine that a difference between the updated value and the baseline value is greater than a threshold value and determine that the EM field has been distorted in response to the difference being greater than the threshold value.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2022Publication date: February 9, 2023Applicant: Auris Health, Inc.Inventors: David Burdick Berman, Christopher K. Sramek, Hedyeh Rafii-Tari, Prasanth Jeevan, Nicolas E. Robert
